    don't see anything wrong with those comments. he is talking possibilities. not probabilities. sure he may have been off about Placer but everything else he said about this team has been **** near spot on. he was certainly closer with his preseason analysis than anyone else on this board. darn near a 180 with how you thought.

    you were certainly the most bullish concerning the team. kudos to you. If memory is correct, My interpretation when it came to what you were saying was that these three were better than most people thought. I didn't take it to mean you literally thought they would be in the nba.

    the refs in the uab game were atrocious

    all the networks move to streaming is going to hurt every conference's payouts (heck even major league sports) in regards to carriage fees. that includes the big 12 , sec, and big 10. 80% of espn's revenues are carriage fees.

    I don't think they have overestimated anything. I don't think they care if you and I aren't interested. they will take the current fans they have and suck every last dollar they can out of them and they don't want to have to share any.

    I think espn and the other legacy networks are running into this problem when it comes to streaming. I believe without carriage fees from people who don't actually watch their channels, the number of subscribers would require them to charge an excessive amount. some have said in the neighborhood of $50 per month as they believe espn will only attract 20% of the people who pay the current $10 per month on their cable carriage fees. This whole shift to streaming is going to reduce revenues considerably in the future imo

    possibly. not sure of the # of season ticket holders + students we have. probably a good indication of how many subscribers we would get.

    they are the "haves" already. they don't care about fans of the lesser programs. in fact the reason they will split off is so they don't have to share anything from their playoffs and championships.
  9. Bull94
    yep and school payouts will be decided by how many of their fans subscribe.

    and they're gone.....funny people calling it a p4. it's a p2 and they are going to breakoff. all this big 12 ,acc, mwc nonsense doesn't matter. they aren't "power" conferences. SEC, Big Ten form advisory group WWW.SECSPORTS.COM Southeastern Conference and Big Ten Conference announce formation of a joint advisory group of university presidents, chancellors, and athletics directors to...

    Interesting that Diamond has $8B in debt they want to discharge. wow did they overpay for their sports rights.doesn't bode well for future contracts. amazon looks to be involved as a minority investor for $155M. Picking up lot's of streaming rights on the cheap. 37 pro teams I believe. What the new Diamond-Amazon deal means for MLB, NBA, NHL - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM On Wednesday, Diamond Sports Group announced a new deal with Amazon. What does it mean for the streaming rights of your favorite teams?

    when darryl shaw and cascade(gates) get done with developing it won't even be close.
  13. Bull94
    yeah count me out. I don't want to pay the taxes for it . downtown tampa is blowing up. water street etc. the billions vinik and gates are investing down there is transforming the area.

    both charlotte and UNT rank just ahead of ecu in 3 point % against. cold shooting night is going to happen. relying on 3's gives you a higher variance of outcomes. it also gives you a better chance to win. no team is going to win every game. there will be those on here that think we should totally change our offensive philosophy(shoot less 3's) when it happens. we shouldn't. we will have to rely on our defense to win ugly on an off night shooting.
  15. Bull94
    not bad for a coach who is out of his league and a bunch of lower level asun players that won't be able to compete in the big bad aac.
  16. Bull94
    Nice to see the three ball still going in. almost a 50% clip over last three games. close to 50% of are points are coming from behind the arc. offensive efficiency way up. Charlotte and UNT defend the three very well. gonna be a tough task. Might have to rely on our defense to win these two.
  17. Bull94
    we'll all just have to pay for it through higher taxes or increased inflation
  18. Bull94
    so you're on board with the estimated $2.4Billion giveaway to the rays then I guess. Oh wait that includes tax breaks for big business....
  19. Bull94
    their athletic fees are almost 20% of the cost
  20. Bull94
    it's a state school funded by state and federal taxpayers. 60% of their student body gets financial aid. the taxpayers would pay $50M less if those fees went towards the schools mission which is to educate the public. So in a sense, you and i are partly paying for them to have a division 1 athletics program.
  21. Bull94
    it's not idealistic or unrealistic. and no it's not too late either. if the p2 wants minor league sports then let them break off. let the rest of us get back to rational dealings that don't threaten to bankrupt schools. just think of what will happen when revenue sharing comes into play. there is a reason why there are different divisions in college athletics. those divisions have different rules and far different costs.
  22. Bull94
    the ncaa is toothless. there are already different divisions for college sports. no reason why there can't be another. the revenue disparity in FBS is ridiculous. OSU athletic department had $250M in revenue. JMU had $57M. Of that $57M , $50M came from student fees. each student there pays $2,362 of mandatory fees for their athletic programs.

    This can be a dangerous game. Personally I'd like for us to play in a league where money isn't what drives every decision. a group of like minded schools where academics still matter and schools aren't bankrupted trying to keep up athletically with the joneses. I hope the top half breaks off and forms their minor leagues and the rest of us come to our senses and put rules in place. "pay" the players with an education and maybe a stipend, pay coaches and ADs a reasonable salary(something less than the president of the school) and stop trying to bleed every last cent from fans. maybe kick back some extra cash to the school for their mission which is to educate the public the spending on athletics has gotten beyond ridiculous.

    geography doesn't mean anything anymore. how many subscriptions you can sell is all that matters now.
  25. Bull94
    eventually programs will be paid out individually based on the number of streaming subscriptions their fans buy. similar to mlb and their local tv rights. Eventually the vandys and northwesterns of the world will be left behind financially just as the rays are left behind by the dodgers/yankees/ etc. I think all the smaller programs clamoring for an invite will be disappointed to find no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. the free money train is ending and the live sports bubble is bursting. Just look at the diamond sports bankruptcy. amazon is picking up the streaming rights for 40 professional league teams for peanuts on the dollar.
